Madam Wang and Lou Yu followed Zhao Heng into the Grand Jing Dynasty's capital, Fengming City, and went straight to the palace.
Two people were already waiting in a side hall of the palace.
Madam Wang glanced at the two of them and recognized them.
One of them was Song Xuan, a relative of the Great Qian Dynasty's Song family.
He had just become a Martial Emperor, but he was trusted by the Qian Emperor. He was one of the Qian Emperor's most trusted aides.
The other young man was Han Pingzhang, the Ninth Prince of the Great Ning Dynasty's Emperor Ning's son.
Although he was young, it was rumored that the Emperor Ning doted on him. In recent years, the Emperor Ning had entrusted him with many important matters as training.
Sending him to Fengming City showed how important this matter was to the Great Ning Dynasty.
"Madam Wang."
Han Pingzhang and Song Xuan stood up and bowed when they saw Madam Wang, Lou Yu, and Zhao Heng.
After everyone greeted each other, Han Pingzhang cupped his fists at Zhao Heng. "Senior Zhao, I wonder if there are any clues about Chang 'an here in Fengming City? Please tell us soon. "
"Nephew Han, please don't be impatient. Once everyone has arrived, we'll officially begin," Zhao Heng said.
Han Pingzhang nodded and waited patiently.
Lou Yu and Song Xuan sat at the side quietly.
The hall fell into silence once more.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait for too long.
Soon, Zhao Heng, who had left earlier, came in with two more people.
Lou Yu and the others looked over and saw a young man who walked in behind Zhao Heng.
They knew him. He was Wang Yuanchun, a member of the Wang family's Dafeng Dynasty's royal family.
Although he wasn't Emperor Feng's son, he had become a Martial Emperor at such a young age. He was quite famous in Middle Earth.
However, the other person made everyone frown.
He was a middle-aged Confucian scholar. He looked unfamiliar, but judging from his attire, he seemed to be a subordinate of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
The Great Xuan Dynasty's messenger didn't seem to be the most trusted person.
From this perspective, the Great Xuan Dynasty didn't seem to care much about this gathering.
However, their situation was special. They were facing the West Sea. It was understandable.
However, the Twelve Kings of Hell were rising again. They were in a dangerous situation. They couldn't afford to be careless …
"Since everyone is here, we can officially begin."
Zhao Heng was also secretly criticizing the Liu family dynasty's choice, but he didn't show it on his face.
He looked at Han Pingzhang and said, "I'll ask another friend to answer Nephew Han's question."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat as they all looked towards the back of the palace.
There, a green-robed scholar walked out.
Everyone looked at him and found him familiar.
Lou Yu suddenly asked, "Are you a student of Nine Peaks Academy?"
The young scholar in green clasped his hands towards the crowd. "Student Shen Xingyuan greets fellow Daoists."
Hearing this, everyone nodded to themselves.
As expected, not only were they students of the Nine Peaks Academy, they were also members of the Shen Clan.
Everyone's gaze shifted from Shen Xingyuan to Zhao Heng.
The Zhao Dynasty and the Nine Peaks Academy had never been on good terms.
Previously, when Chang 'an had just set foot on the Central Mainland and everything was still unclear, the Zhao Family even secretly supported and cooperated with Chang' an to help Chang 'an gain a foothold in the Central Mainland in order to deal with the Nine Peaks Academy.
Now it seemed that they had really nurtured a tiger.
However, after knowing that Chang 'an was created by the Twelve Kings of Hell, the Zhao Dynasty seemed to have immediately come to their senses.
Not only did they contact the people from the other dynasties to come together for the meeting, but they even eased their relationship with the Nine Peaks Academy.
Obviously, the Nine Peaks Academy didn't hesitate. They immediately accepted the goodwill of the Zhao Dynasty and stood on the same side as everyone.
However, there was a problem.
The Nine Peaks Academy's actions showed that in Shen Tianxian's mind, Chang 'an was a greater threat than the Zhao Dynasty.
His youngest son, Shen Ping, did die in Chang 'an, but at that time, no one knew the details of Chang' an.
Now that they knew that the one who controlled Chang 'an was one of the Twelve Kings of Hell, everyone looked back at the grudge between the Nine Peaks Academy and Chang' an and found it strange.
Shen Herong, the Great Evildoer of the Twelve Kings of Hell, was a member of the Shen family …
Slowly, Wang Yuanchun of the Dafeng Dynasty asked, "I heard that the Twelve Kings of Hell had internal strife. So it seems that the City Lord of Chang 'an, as well as Chu Yaoguang and Ao Kong, who are in Chang' an, have all fallen out with Shen Herong?"
Shen Xingyuan shook his head. "Although I can't be completely sure, if there are no accidents, Shen Herong should be in Chang 'an."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes flashed again.
"How should I address Mr. Shen and Shen Herong?" asked Han Pingzhang, the Ninth Prince of the Daning Dynasty.
"If it were in the past, according to seniority, I should call her Little Aunt." Shen Xingyuan shook his head. "But now, she has nothing to do with the Shen family. If she does, then she is our enemy, just like the others in Chang 'an."
Shen Xingyuan didn't know Shen Herong very well.
But Shen Tianxian, Shen Hao, and the others knew him very well.
Killing Shen Ping with his own hands was the clearest statement.
There was no room for negotiation between the two sides.
In this case, the Shen family had to abandon all their fantasies and go all out.
After hearing Shen Xingyuan's answer, except for Zhao Heng, who already knew, everyone present was thoughtful.
Naturally, the Nine Peaks Academy's statement was the best. Everyone would have a strong ally against Chang 'an.
But whether Shen Herong had really fallen out with the Shen family, and whether the Shen family was here to act as an undercover agent, everyone had some reservations. They planned to wait and see.
Before Shen Xingyuan came, he had been told by Shen Tianxian that his family was not trustworthy.
It was inevitable that the others present would have doubts.
After pondering for a while, Song Xuan of the Great Qian Dynasty, who had been silent and taciturn, suddenly asked, "Mr. Shen, do you know who the City Lord of Chang 'an is?"
"The Nine Peaks Academy can't confirm this point now."
Shen Xingyuan shook his head gently. "But the Dean once said that Chang 'an's steady and steady style was more like Ye and Li in the past."
Song Xuan nodded slightly. "It makes sense."
Because of Shen Herong in the past, Shen Tianxian and Shen Hao might know more about the Twelve Kings of Hell than the outside world.
Since they said so, the result should be quite similar.
Mrs. Wang Lou Yu said, "If it's one of them, it means that there are at least four people gathered in Chang 'an … Well, if' Sword Demon 'Su Po is included, it will be five."
"According to the rumor of the battle on the South Peak of Mount Shu, Chu Yaoguang and Ao Kong should not have recovered to their peak. Then, what about Shen Herong and the City Lord of Chang 'an?" Han Pingzhang asked.
Shen Xingyuan replied, "Shen Herong should not be at the moment. It's hard to say for sure about the City Lord of Chang 'an."
Slowly, Song Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. "Predict the enemy carefully."
Slowly, Han Pingzhang said, "That means that Perfected Peng of the Tai Qing Palace and Principal Kong of the Sacred Evolution Palace must take action."
Everyone looked at each other and suddenly fell silent.
In the past, there were many top Overlords in the Central Region.
Now, they seemed to have withered because they were killed by the Twelve Kings of Hell 30 to 40 years ago.
"Those who are unjust are doomed to destruction. It is their retribution that they suffered in the past."
Wang Yuanchun broke the silence. "Now that the fire has risen again, it is a critical moment. We must put it out before it grows stronger."
Everyone present nodded silently.
Zhao Heng looked around. "The Eastern Region is remote. Everyone was careless and did not realize that Chang 'an is gradually growing.
As Brother Wang said, we can't delay any longer.
Everyone, please contact each other and ask the Overlords to join forces and fight the Eastern Region to put out this evil fire as soon as possible. "
Song Xuan said, "Not only us, but also the Tai Qing Palace, the Sacred Evolution Palace, and the entire Central Region."
Everyone present nodded.
…
In the mountains far away from Fengming City, some people were secretly moving.
They were careful to hide their tracks as they walked. Then, they went to the top of the mountain together.
A tall and muscular man stood on the cliff and looked in the direction of Fengming City.
"Your Majesty."
They arrived behind the man and knelt down in unison.
The man did not look back. "How is it?"
"The Zhao Dynasty did not show any signs of luring you into a trap. They don't seem to have bad intentions," the attendant replied.
The man nodded slightly. "Continue to investigate."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the attendant replied. Then, he hesitated. "Your Majesty …"
"Speak," the man said calmly.
"Your Majesty, are you going to take this opportunity to attack the Zhao Dynasty?" the attendant asked softly.
The emperor of a dynasty had left his own country and came to the Great Jing Dynasty. He looked at the imperial capital of the Great Jing Dynasty.
The man looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "There are some things that are still unclear …"
The attendant bowed his head. "I am guilty."
The man did not answer. He just waved his hand casually.
The group of attendants behind him quickly bowed and left.
Only the tall man was left on the top of the mountain.
He muttered to himself, "This is not something you can find out …"
While the Zhao Dynasty was inviting allies, tens of thousands of miles away, in the Daming Palace of Chang 'an City, Zhang Dongyun was looking at the light image in front of him.
"If Eighth Sister hadn't saved me, I would have been killed by Seventh Brother."
Shen Herong shook his head and sighed in the image.
She took off the Qing Tian Eye and faced it with her own face. "However, I can finally find him."
Zhang Dongyun smiled. "I will inform you later."
Shen Herong sighed again. "I feel that it will be difficult to face Seventh Brother in the future."
"It's not certain whether he will be able to face us or not," Zhang Dongyun said calmly. "Let's wait until he recovers his memory."
Shen Herong turned his head and looked behind him.
Chu Yaoguang stood there quietly without saying a word.
Shen Herong sighed again. "Don't worry, Big Brother. I will take Seventh Brother back to Chang 'an as soon as possible."
Zhang Dongyun nodded. Then, he wiped the image in front of him with his hand and disappeared.
"Eleventh Brother, you will lead the team this time." He first called Ao Kong. Then, he projected Mr. Dark Cloud to Tianshu Hall.
Inside the hall, he passed the order to the people of Chang 'an.
"Invade the Central Region and take down the Great Jing Dynasty!"
